Fun with Christmas Lights

There is not much going on our Christmas tree this year. I have decided to keep quality over quantity, choosig (or making) handmade over store-bought. So far our collection is very small, but fortunately, Christmas lights really do it for me.

We’ve also decided to keep the artificial tree for now. As much as I love the smell of pine needles(and sweeping the floor a hundred times a day) I am not sure if I can justify cutting down a tree, decorating it and then tossing it after two weeks.

What about you? Do you prefer a real tree or a fake one? And are you making any Christmas ornaments this year?

Your cats have naturally hilarious expressions...they could be staring into oblivion and it's just insanely funny! I have had an artificial tree for 4 years now and I love it. A little floofing and it's good to go. I sometime light a pine candle nearby...:)

I prefer a real tree but I just inherited a fake silver tree, from the 1960s, with green ornaments and green floodlight, so it's a fake one this year. I can't put lights on it, but plan to put them around the house in other places.

About Me

I love city life and natural landscapes that marry well. In the spring, summer, fall and winter I spend a lot of time outdoors with my camera, looking for lovely things to photograph, like butterflies, birds, flowers and trees.
